This will give you the current size of the database;
select SIZE AS '8k PAGES' FROM sys.database_files WHERE TYPE = 0
run this as a select, inserting the output into a table.
Then to do what you want to do, set up a job and run at your desired time(s)
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
